No. Most likely 2 generations after this one. So midrange of what ever comes after Navi.

As was the GPU that the PS4 used.  It needs to be if it's going to be in a $399 box. 

To make the PS5 with the specs I'm expecting, a Vega 64, at least a Ryzen 1700

No one is paying that much for a console, as history continues to show us time and time, again.  Give it another two years and all those prices will be at least cut in half.

Eh, it will be fine ... 

Vega 10 is 484 mm^2@14nm so it'll be a long while that sort of performance will become mainstream. The only reason to prefer newer GPU microachitectures is from a feature set perspective rather than a performance perspective ... (render target reads (Gen 9), independent thread scheduling (Volta), underestimate conservative rasterization (Gen 9/Vega), or maybe even GPU software rasterization(programmable rasterization stage!)) 

PS5 wishlist should include the following ... (EUV should be cost efficient by then)

built on Samsung's 4nm MCBFETs (APU should be produced for 2021 release and should give 4x density improvement) 

20 TFlop/s 

16GB HBM (gen 3)

2 TB/s bandwidth (quad channel) 

Don't feel like we need much more DRAM capacity anymore since memory bandwidth is a big bottleneck going into the future with things such as incoherent ray traversal for ray tracing or volumetric rendering ... 

Not with that power consumption it won't. That's just too much for a console. They would need to bring clock speeds down to about 800-900 Mhz to tame that beast into a console, and by that point it wouldn't even have twice the power of a PS4 Pro anymore.

I'd rather say it will be based on Navi, Vega's sucessor. It could use 64 NCU but at a much lower clock speed (I guess around 1000 Mhz) unless Navi clocks much better than it's predecessors

Yes to all You wrote. SSD for games of over 100GB size is expensive. Load times are a factor, and HDD is slow. And yes 16GB is ok for a console. But if 1080p games need 8GB, then 4k games might need 16GB of ram. But that’s only for games with the same amount of assets, same size of landscape, same amount of objects in the environment. With only the texture resolution higher. The next gen needs more then just 4k. Hope for 64GB… and a price below 699;)  

(640K Ought to be Enough for Anyone)

If they'd actually need any amount of RAM beyond 16GB they would have to come with SSDs which I highly doubt. 16GB for a console in 2021 is absolutely fine and will certainly not be a bottleneck. 16GB or 32GB is not going to make a difference.

My bold prediction is coming truer and truer. Nvidia will be the gpu in the next consoles.

Sony and Microsoft will be forced to use Nvidia in next-gen consoles because Amd gpus is just so bad compared to Nvidia.

This vega gpu needed 50% more die size(50%+ more transistors), a watercooler, hbm2 and almost twice the power (watt usage) to barely beat the geforce 1080. Expect the watercooler version have about 0-5% more performance then geforce 1080 and the non water cooler version to lose.

This card is hilariously bad, it's worse than polaris architecture (the gpu in ps4 pro and xbox one x). I don't know how AMD manage to make a card worse than their previously.

I still stand by this. Ps5 will have 4-6 ryzen cpu cores, a midrange nvidia gpu(whatever arhitecture comes after volta), 16gb gddr6 and 2 tb non-ssd drive. 2020 released time(will be using 7 nm Euv) 399$ and non backwards compatibility.

If Sony go amd gpu expect instead 2019 release date(will be using 7 nm non-Euv), 8 ryzen cpu cores, 8-9 teraflops navi gpu(might be polaris architecture if Navi is a disaster as Vega) but will be backwards compatibility.

The current consoles are using mobile AMD APUs. Why would you think that console makers won't use bad GPUs? That's their MO.

Sony and Microsoft aren't using bad GPUs, xbox one had a badly performing card. Ps4 was using cut-down radeon 7870, mid range gpu. Ps4 pro same, radeon 480 gpu. Those Gpus aren't bad, they are decent. Xbox one x gpu is probably superior than radeon 580 because of the bandwidth from the memory.

You also make a bit confusing comments in this thread :) First you say Sony and microsoft uses bad GPU than you say ps5 will have 14 TF which is unrealistic unless they w8 for 5 nm(Don't think they will w8 that long).
